What Happens In Vegas . . .

No, sorry - no Hangover-worthy escapades to report, but we did have a blast this past weekend in Vegas with my in-laws!! We were there for the Boise State football game, but had plenty of time to check out a few of the main attractions - Fremont Street, the casinos, the Pawn Shop from Pawn Stars, and a quick stop at the Vegas sign. Plus we had some amazing food at the Heart Attack Grill, where you have to wear a hospital gown to eat, they only serve 4 burgers (with bacon added in increments of 5 pieces!), and if you order a shake, they slap a pad of butter on top! But we definitely worked it all off since we walked around pretty much all day and probably needed the extra layer of fat for the football game since it was FREEZING!! It was so wonderful to escape reality for a couple days and relax and enjoy being with family and see the sights. We were definitely not ready to come home yet since there was still so much to see and do, so I guess we will just have to go back every weekend until we either get sick of it or run out of things to do!

{Ceiling lights on Fremont Street - there's a zip line down the street on the ceiling that we want to try next time we visit!!)

{It says 'Over 350 lbs eats free' - and there's a huge scale in the middle of the restaurant!}

{Suited up and ready to get our grub on!}

{This was the 'Double Bypass burger" - INSANE!! But delicious!}

{Pawn Shop - there was a huge line just to get in and it's a lot smaller than it looks on TV! But still pretty cool and there is some amazing stuff in there!}

{In The Venetian - you can take a gondola ride and they do sing to you! This is actually inside, the ceilings are painted to look like you are outside in some areas! (For those of you who have never been there!}

{Freezing at the game!! But they won, and the garlic fries were fantastic, so I guess it was worth it!}

These photos are SOOOO much fun :) I Love that one of you two in the gowns :) For someone who is about to eat a whole lotta food you look exceptionally lovely! I have never been to America but Morgs and I want to go really bad, Europe is first (next year for 4 months) then we have our sites set on the States so its posts like yours that will keep me motivated to save to get over there. Hope you guys had as much fun as your photos look :)
